Not looking for him as a spouse or running mate, he’s a damn good attorney. Having someone who is experienced with Scotus would be a plus to, given the rate at which idiot federal judges are blocking MAGA.

Olson would consider Trump not high enough on the chain to work with... he’d be embarrassed.

And that is the elite in Washington.

Agreed. I think BKO was a good influence on him, and he went farther left after her death.

If Ted Olson "has long been on the dark side" then why did Ted Olson win the Supreme Court battle in BUSH vs GORE 2000, and why did Robert Bork attend his wedding to Lady Booth?

He’s a damned good attorney, but I doubt he’d take on Trump as a client, as Olson’s politics have gone over to the dark side.

I have a copy of Barbara Olson’s book about Hitlery, “Hell to Pay.”

On September 11th, 2001, Barbara was on her cell phone on board American Airlines flight 77 from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles. She knew the plane was being hijacked, and she reportedly told the person she was talking to (her husband?) “What do I tell the pilot?”

She probably didn’t know the pilot was already dead and the scumbag terrorists were in control of the plane. I can’t even imagine what she and the other innocents went through that day.
